Hi - I didn't see this until another person on list pointed it out.
If you looks at the speaker and housing from the rear, you'll see a
small bead of glue that attached the speaker to the housing.  Trick
is to cut away the glue a bit and start working under the edge of the
speaker to pop it loose.  I used an old screwdriver, bent the tip at
about 45 degrees and sharpened it a bit and popped it right out.
